Carl Edwards (99) and Tony Stewart (14) battle for the 2011
Sprint Cup in the season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway
own terms. He wasn’t forced
out by sponsorship issues,
and his career, most certainly,
wasn’t in decline. Instead, the
driver walked away because he
was satisfied with his racing
accomplishments, he wanted
to spend time doing non-racing
things with his family, and he
wanted to make sure he still
has his mental faculties intact
down the road.
“I’m satisfied with my career,”
Edwards told media. “I’d like
to spend time on other things
outside of it, and my health is
important to me. I am healthy.”
Edwards never won a cham-
pionship at the Cup level, but
he came oh-so -close to a Cup
on at least two occasions.
Most recently, he was among
the Championship Four driv-
ers, joining eventual seven-
time champion Jimmie Johnson,
Joey Logano and Joe Gibbs
Racing teammate Kyle Busch,
in the 2016 season-finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Edwards was in contention for
a first Sprint Cup until an in-
cident with Logano sent him
to the garage and out of the
race with only a handful of laps
remaining.
It was after that incident that
Edwards exhibited the perfect
example of what may be his
biggest legacy in NASCAR -
class and sportsmanship. After
climbing from his car, Edwards
headed to pit road, toward the
pit box of Logano’s #22 Team
Penske race team. Despite
Edwards’ usually calm demea-
nor, onlookers expected an
altercation, but they got just
the opposite. Instead, Edwards
climbed up the ladder of the
#22 pit box to shake the hand
of Logano’s crew chief, Todd
Gordon.
Edwards occasionally bumped
heads with teammates and
sometimes didn’t see eye-to-
eye with a fellow competitor.
Perhaps, the most memora-
ble example was a multi-race
meeting of the minds - or sheet
metal - with Brad Keselowski
that began at Talladega
Superspeedway in 2009 when
contact between the two driv-
ers resulted in a first-career win
for Keselowski and Edwards’
car getting airborne and
into the frontstretch catch-
fence. Later in the season,
Keselowski was the driver
catching air and riding along
the fence.
